In the past, I have blogged as part of my job as staff photographer at the Chicago Tribune. I have blogged from the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece and from the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. I have sent dispatches from Super Bowl XLI in Miami and have kept a photo journal as a compliment to “The Season” photo column.

Now, I just feel that I need an outlet for work that at this point doesn’t have a home- my personal photos, outtakes, past unseen work and daily successes, near misses and total disasters.

I’m not sure how regularly I will post but I hope you get something out of it.

By the way, the Chicago Tribune is the copyright holder to the majority of the images appearing on this blog and can not be used without both mine and the Chicago Tribune’s permission.

Hi Scott,
i happened to see your “common ground” project and i loved it, its such an interesting work and the images are so so strong, i’m Michele Dotto and i write for a magazine called “Zoe Magazine” and i would like to have a chance to interview you about this project, the theme of the next issue is “parallel worlds” and i think your “common ground” project is perfect. I was thinkin about writin an article on “common ground” then i thought that i’d give it a try and ask you for an interview, i guess you’re pretty busy with your work and life and stuff so if you can’t i totally understand, if you can’t do the interview is it possible to have some of those common ground images to put it on the magazine?

if you want to take a look at the magazine
zoemagazine.net
is it based in palermo (sicily/italy) but its distributed all over italy and in some european countries as well.
